Hybrid Cloud Model

      One of the benefits of adopting the hybrid cloud model is because of the fact that hybrid cloud architecture is designed in such a way that it is possible for the hybrid cloud to allocate resources according to demand and priority of the tasks. This makes it possible to run high priority tasks with the best resources available. Therefore, a hybrid cloud ensures that there is maximum utilization of the cloud infrastructure. When using a hybrid cloud model, it is possible to manage functionality and service levels. For instance, in a setting where people have to make bids, the hybrid cloud will make it possible to recognize the winning bid in real time. All one has to do is set a fixed criteria which will be used to assess the incoming bids. Adopting a hybrid cloud is a good idea is because of the fact that disaster recovery is not as a headache as many people might think since the responsibility is spilled across multiple cloud service providers.

     Hybrid cloud models are very beneficial to organizations. Many organizations that are using either private of public clouds are considering shifting to the hybrid cloud. To put it in simple terms, there is one big pile one side and a smaller pile on the other side. The big pile represents the cloud computing resources available while the small pile represents the all the computer requirements that an organization requires for the day to day running of the organization. With just a single press of a button, all the computing resources that the organization needs are aligned with the best and cost-effective, high security and best performing resources that a cloud can offer. These resources include but not limited to infrastructure as a service or IaaS, software as a service or SaaS and private and public clouds. That is how the hybrid cloud functions. It is also worth noting that a hybrid cloud has a strategy that enables it to reconstitute itself in order to give the best cloud solution available to the customer.

      Extending into the cloud should expand your options without adding complexity. A Microsoft hybrid cloud lets you easily move workloads from your datacenter to Microsoft Azure. You can build hybrid applications that leverage both on-premises and cloud resources. Many businesses today use a judicious mix of these clouds, in order to gain the maximum advantage from the good aspects of each of these clouds. While they use public clouds for less sensitive tasks, they prefer to use private clouds for their most vital processing tasks. The hybrid cloud thus works out the most preferred infrastructure for companies who are not willing to enter the cloud in a big way. Microsoft is now offering the hybrid cloud infrastructure to many of its clients. Therefore, hybrid cloud model is no doubt a veritable boon for companies aiming to foray ahead in the market.

      Benefits of hybrid cloud solutions include the following; meet changing business needs with greater flexibility, security--One of the main concerns of a public cloud is data integrity and security, hybrid clouds can be operated at any time at all, from any part of the world and hybrid clouds are designed in a manner as to quickly scale the company’s needs among others. The developing significance of hybrid cloud situations is changing the whole processing industry and also the way organizations have the capacity to influence innovation to enhance. Financial matters and velocity are the two biggest issues driving this business sector change.

     This is cloud computing environment which uses private and public cloud services. Hybrid clouds are so designed to minimize errors and maximize the efficiency of the infrastructure hybrid cloud is particularly valuable for dynamic or highly changeable workloads. Another hybrid cloud use case is big data processing. A company, for example, could use hybrid cloud model to retain its accumulated business, test and other data, and then run analytical queries in the public cloud. A hybrid cloud gives you the best of both worlds so you can take advantage of external resources when it makes sense for your business.

      The hybrid cloud has brought some new and unexpected challenges to the world of cloud computing. However, sometimes it is good to understand to military tactics when protecting your hybrid cloud. One of the most important things to understand that is that the best way to win a war is by not fighting. That implies that instead of someone waiting for a security breach to happen in order to address the security issues in the cloud, it is better to have a proper security system in place. So when the hybrid cloud is secure, companies will have smaller amount warfare to do when they are faced with security threats.

     One of the things that made people and organization to be wary of the cloud in the first place was the idea that you are trusting all your workload and data to a setting where you do not have absolute control. Therefore, many people and organizations have resorted to demanding for transparency. It is imperative for one to know his or her cloud. That is the second military tactic. You should know your enemy. It is good to have certifications since that would get you jobs in most organizations, however, understanding cloud architecture is more important than a thousand certificates in cloud computing.

    In most cases, assessing the cloud is usually through the internet or VPN although there are some cases where one can access the cloud directly. Therefore, the cloud handles the authentication process should be considered as a top priority security concern. Therefore, one has a right to demand to know how security is being implemented and what SLA’s have been put in place. It is also good to know how storage has been shared across the infrastructure. In most cases monitoring and security are self-service. Good transparency should help one know which workloads are in untrustworthy pools and which workloads are intrusted pools.
